Day 13 & 14

Thursday Kelly was back from Italy and we rearranged so much furniture around! We unhooked and rehooked up 2 monitors and hard drives, and we felt very accomplished and strong. :D Kelly finally had a computer at her desk and we had a functioning fax machine! Next I dusted in some areas that have probably not seen the light of light bulbs since 2003, and we switched the garment ticket organizer with the swatch sample books and beading samples. I then went over to lining club to buy 5 yards of lavender acetate lining. I also had to repeatedly badger Klauber, a lace company, about whether they could offer a certain pattern composition in a much smaller width. It took many persistent phone calls but the representative finally called me back to say that they did not, but she was going to ask a guy named Josh to try to find alternatives. We lost the center front drape of 3506 and were all freaking out. I luckily found it in the bad version of 3503, but after a major freakout, we were able to return the right pattern pieces. Deana and I packed away a few dresses and then I was on my way home again.

Friday Jamie finally came in and I showed him my term garments, with which he was very pleased. We had another pattern scare and basically annoyed ever yone in production trying to find the patterns. Then I read the instructions of the packet more carefully nd aI realized that the pattern 3509 used a different pattern (3510H) for the bottom skirt pieces that we were trying to locate, and Kelly was able to avoid a heart attack. Yay for me! We spent the rest of the time trying to inventory alllll of our lining. We didnt even begin the other fabric yet, individually labeling and documenting years of accumulated lining was not a quick process!!
